In the Catechism of Pius X (1908), we have the
following question and answer about the fourth article of the creed:
4 Q. What class of punishment was that of the
Cross?
A. The punishment of the Cross in those days
was the cruelest and the most ignominious
of all punishments.
One was
reminded of the description of Nehor’s death in Alma 1:15. See:
Alma
1:15 and Nehor's "Ignominious Death" (a response to the Tanners)
